Introduction

About the SCP 150, SCP 150 AAP, and SCP 150 L

The Extron SCP 150, SCP 150 AAP, and SCP 150 L are hardwired
remote control panels for the Extron System 5 IP switcher. All
models replicate the switcher’s volume, input switching, and
system controls. The SCP 150 AAP also provides four spaces for
the addition of optional architectural adapter plates (AAPs) or
audio, relay, or IR control modules (ACMs, RCMs, IRCMs).

Unless otherwise noted or implied, the term “SCP” refers to all
three models of the SCP 150 (SCP 150, SCP 150 AAP, and
SCP 150 L).

The System 5 IP cannot be configured from the SCP
control panels. All switcher setup must be done from the
switcher or via RS-232. Refer to the System 5 IP
manual for information on setting up the switcher.

The System 5 IP supports up to two SCPs. Up to four control
modules and one IR Link infrared signal repeater can be daisy­chained with the panels. The SCP accepts signals from the
optional IR 402 remote control.

The panels can be mounted in or on walls or furniture. The
SCP 150 mounts in a 2-gang electrical box, surface mount box,
or mounting bracket and the SCP 150 AAP mounts in a 4-gang
electrical box, surface mount box, or mounting bracket.

The SCP 150 L fits into a compact lectern space, into a wall, or
into an Extron UCM RAAP or UCM 10X8P faceplate.

UL Requirements

The Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements listed below
pertain to the installation of the SCP into a wall or furniture.

1. This unit is not to be connected to a centralized DC power

source or used beyond its rated voltage range.

2. This unit must be installed in a UL listed electrical wall

box.

The UL approved electrical box is not included with the
SCP; the installer is responsible for obtaining and
installing the box.

3. This unit must be installed in accordance with the

National Electrical Code.

Preparing the Site

To mount the panel using either an electrical box or a mounting
bracket, use one of the rough-in templates provided on pages
A-7 through A-9 as a guide to measure and mark the hole in the
wall or furniture through which the SCP will be mounted. The
templates provide measurements for installing the panel with
either an electrical box or a mounting bracket. You do not need
the template if you are mounting the panel using an SMB.

The templates are not to scale and are provided for
reference only.

To prepare the site:

1. Choose a mounting location. If using an electrical box to

wall-mount the panel, locate a stud to which the box will
be attached.

2. Use the appropriate template and panel dimensions in

Appendix A to as a guide to measure and mark the area to
cut out of the wall or furniture.

3. Cut out the opening in the wall or furniture.

Installing the Electrical Box

If you are using a mounting bracket or SMB instead of an
electrical box, follow the mounting instructions that came with
the bracket or SMB.

To install the electrical box:

1. Insert the electrical box into the opening, and attach

the wall box to the wall stud (2" x 4") or furniture with
nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the
surface, as shown in the following illustration.

To attach the wall box to wood, use four #8 to #10
wood or sheet metal screws. A minimum of 1/2 inch
(1.25 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood.
If the wood is a 2 x 4, such as a wall stud, 10-penny or
larger nails can be used.

To attach the electrical wall box to metal, use four #8
or #10 sheet metal screws (self-tapping) or #8 or #10
machine bolts with matching nuts.

2. Feed the cables into the wall box. Cable clamps

should be used to hold the cables in place for strain
relief.

3. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential

sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate
shields with heat shrink.
